Combat using projectiles

Throwing is a basic skill learnt by all novices in Avalon. It deals with your ability to hurl projectiles at others. Although developed most often by the Knightly guilds, Throwing is a skill which even magic-users can progress in. The syntax of the command is fairly exact since it serves many purposes. THROW <item> AT <target> will hurl your item at a target in the same location as you, while THROW <item> AT <target> <direction> will hurl the item at a target in a distant location. THROW <item> TO <target> will lob your item to a friend - they will be able to catch it and use it. You could throw an item in a specific direction, e.g. THROW APPLE NORTH. Finally THROW <item> TO <target> <direction> will lob the item at a target in a distant location for them to use.
